I am looking for info on sensor cleaning... I have my Canon 20d and the sensor needs a cleaning, there is no one locally that cleans them and I am thinking I could buy a kit and clean mine.
Yes I am aware of the risk of damaging the sensor but I feel I am capable to get the job done. Anyone clean there sensors? Kit recommendations?

I will do it in a three step process. I'm sure you've already done the air blower though. There is a wet/dry cleaning kit that works very well. They are pricey though. With imagination and youtube all new things are possible lol.

First time shooting lightning, interesting how difficult this can be. The last pic is washed out but how can you judge what aperture to set when there is no constant? I am ordering a sensor cleaning swab kit as well.
Canon 20d / 17-85mm. Manual, bulb setting with remote, aperture set between 4.5 and 16.

Sure it cost $60 for these items and there is a big risk when cleaning the sensor, however my last sensor cleaning in Buffalo NY cost me $55. Sadly no one locally will clean one so this is pretty much my only option.

Well, it isn't in sight at the moment for me, but it'll be over the hills and trees in a couple minutes and I'll have a go at some photos. Never tried taking shots of the moon yet, should be interesting.

Rather hazy out tonight, although I think I got a few good shots. The wife was kinda pissy because I wanted to take so many pictures. Not sure wtf her deal was.

I'll go through my pics tomorrow and upload some for you guys. I think I got a few good ones, although exposure was kinda tricky. Took so many pics because I was trying to play with the different camera settings to see what worked best.

hi guys, ive been shooting film for as long as i could hold a camera. finally got a digital camera after developing film, scanning, storing photos became such a big hassle. shooting with the canon sx40hs and i have to say for a budget dslr this is a very nice camera. the lens is phenomenal and the color is what you get from the $1000 models.

anyway, i shoot everything, but sometimes i like to shoot pictures for my desktop wallpaper. here are a few 16:9 shots that are uncompressed if you want to use them.
